考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。
学习步骤如下：
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）
文段一
Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.
短文翻译
有时，正因为经历着困难，很容易就陷入不快了。此时，你会忘却暂停，忘却感激拥有的一切。只有坚强的人，才会笑对生活，而不是哭天抢地，满嘴怨言。

v.&n.停顿; 停顿的时间
appreciate [əˈpriːʃieɪt]

文段 II
No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearest people. You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor, help and companionship. If you have no friends or relatives, try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.
短文翻译
不管觉得多么孤独，事情多么严重，始终谨记：你并非孤身一人。一定记得：几乎人人，尤其是你最亲最近的人，只要你想改变，都愿意伸出援助之手。你可能还拥有一大帮朋友，他们不断地逗乐、支持和陪伴着你。如果无亲无友，你可以参加网络社区。社区里满是愿意提供建议，给予鼓励的人。
